Ride Salado Creek Greenway Jack White Park To Southside Lions Park

If you are not yet a member, you can join us on this ride by starting a 30 day trial membership. The $20 annual dues are not required during the trial membership period. Give us a try and see how fun it is to ride with us. Depending on what part of the new trails to the south are accessible, this ride will be anywhere from 18 to 25 miles. We will average around 11 MPH with peak speeds up to 15 MPH, maybe faster downhill. This is my favorite summer time ride... it's very shady. We ride by Pletz Park, the KOA campground with lots of big pecan trees, alongside Willow Springs golf course and the AT&T Center, through Martin Luther King park and through Covington and Comanche Parks, finally arriving at Southside Lions Park where there is a nice lake and lots of people fishing. Unless the weather is overcast, we usually head up to the Hiawatha Street Overlook for a great view and photo ops. We have sometimes been able to continue south on the latest trail construction when it hasn't been fenced off. The only physically challenging part of the trail is the hill up to the Hiawatha St Lookout, so you can skip that if it is beyond your current ability, and wait below for us to return. Please change your RSVP to "NO" if you decide not to go.......that way someone will not find themselves ALONE because everyone else decided not to go!! Please use a helmet! Also please check your bike status to make sure it is operable before the ride. Be prepared with water and sunblock if needed. Optional food or a beverage afterwards. More Info below.
